Score 95/100 · Drink 2028-2045, Stephan Reinhardt, Wine Advocate, Dec 2023
Bottled earlier on the day I tasted it (!), the 2022 Kirchspiel Westhofen Riesling GG is pure, intense and refined but also untamed on the chalky nose. Silky, fresh and elegant on the palate, this is a rather lean, enormously saline Kirchspiel with a citric finish. This is a radiant and puristic limestone Riesling with salivating salinity and piquancy on the finish. The wine is tight, fresh and citric, or Wittmann's alternative to the purest Chablis. 12.5% stated alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted at the domaine in July 2023.
